The Post-Trump World

Yes.

So do you consider ramming ACB through a mistake?

Rather considering this an illusion.

With a Democrat senate appearing possible if not likely

So do you consider ramming ACB through a mistake?

Going along with your assumptions, do you really think the Ds wouldn't want to pack the court even if ACB wasn't confirmed?

[PlatinumGuy]

Rather considering this an illusion.

So polls are wrong because you want them to be? Or you have enough insider knowledge of voters in MN/IA/MI/ME/NC/AZ, all of which are polling average D, to be confident a 'democrat senate being possible' is an illusion?

Going along with your assumptions, do you really think the Ds wouldn't want to pack the court even if ACB wasn't confirmed?

will we see the D's packing SCOTUS?

Personally I don't think so,

You can argue if the President creates jobs but I think we can all agree that he can sabotage jobs, and that is what Trump is doing cutting the red tape

With unemployment being double what it was 10 months ago a monkey can create jobs. They both will lower unemployment. Maybe Trump would lower it more, but there won't be any way to prove it.

Yes.

You don't think something like term limits would be a bigger possibility?

[PlatinumGuy]

Can they do that with a simple senate majority?

It seems the senate can do whatever they want nowadays.
Who would stop them? SCOTUS would all have to recuse themselves.

Pretty sure it would need to be a constitutional amendment. (One suggestion I heard Democrats make to work around that, would be for them to stay judges but be moved to a lower court).

I have been hearing from a lot of people involved in security, politics or both that we should prepare for the possibility of riots.

Either immediately after the election, or if there is a prolonged court battle. It's also possible that if there is a court battle, both sides will have their share of people who riot.

The governor of California said the same. The good thing is the left wing rioters aren’t armed. The problem is it’s not the left that’s losing

 I haven't seen any right wing riots when the election didn't go their way, so that doesn't worry me.

Good thing we don't need to worry about the right wing white supremacist. They are busy plotting to kidnap politicians, blow up synagogues and kill Jews.

No they just plot to kidnap politicians.

I can't figure out how you actually believe this nonsense. Which dreamworld are you in?

It's called reality. You should try it.

All the states with the most guns are strong Republican.
The states with the least guns are mostly strong Democrat.
All the swing states are in the middle

Now attack me because you have nothing to say on the actual arguments.

Let s go through the version of reality in your dreamworld.

1. That does not in the slightest back up that left wing rioters don't have guns. You are making a generalization to fit your preconcieved notions.
2. Does that include illegal guns? Many heavily D urban areas can give you a reality check on those.
3. Match the area were we have seen BLM violence with areas where there is high gun violence
4. Compare maps of gun violence with Rs and Ds.


But you can continue to twist facts to match the way you would like it to be.

You mean like you just did? 

[aygart]

I am sorry that they don't match what you want. I made no assertions that anyone is without guns. I don't have stats, but I would imagine that most here and in other communities would be more fearful of being stuck in the middle of an inner city riot that one of rednecks.
